INSURGENT PRIVATRERS.-Extract of a letter from Bilboa, dated Aug. 17':—" We hailed with much satisfaction the , irrival of the Matta frigate; no sooner had she appeared, than the insurgent privateers, which previously infested our coast, disappeared, to the great joy of the inhabitants. By the latest advices also from Cadiz, we learn that two or three English ships of war are off that coast, no doubt for the purpose of preserving some little respect for legitimate flags. Such is the present state of Spain—a nation that once meditated an invasion of Great Britain is now glad even of nominal protection front two or three of her frigates." Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when the following Captains were sworn into the command of their respective ships :—Capt. J. R. FRANCIUM, new ship, bnild ing by Messrs. CLAYS ; Capt. ALBXANDER LIND SAY, new ship, building at Northfleet.

The Court was extremely crowded, and there was a very full Bench of Magistrates. On Sunday afternoon, the cries of a boy on board a vessel lying in the Tyne arrested the at tention of sonic persons on the North Shorr, near to Dent's Hole. They perceived a man beating the youth severely with a rope; and notwithstanding repeated calls for him to desist, he continued his unmerciful flagellation for some time, until the public became so exasperated, that they threw a shower of stones on board. As soon As the boy got from his castigator, the people called to him to come on shore, which he imme diately dist in the ship's Loaf . lii was . a most pi tious spectacle ; his eyes, neck, and shoulders were much swollen from the effects of the rope, and his hands completely lacera►ed. The account he gave was, that the ship belonged to Exmouth ; that he was a parish-bound apprentice, and had been cruelly used ever since he went to sea ; that his present flogging was owing to his having taken an apple belonging to one of the men,which he was impelled to do from hunger, not having tasted food that day. This account made such an impression on the feelings of the persons assem bled, that they immediately stove tlte•ship's boat, and made a subscription for the present support of the poor boy, who declared he would never more set font on board the vessel.—(Tyne Mer cury, Sept. 8 ) A labouring. man,,named T. Evison, of Frisk - ney. is now down of the small-pox the second time ! lie had them when an infant in the natural way, was then very bad, blind three weeks, and re tained the marks of them in several parts of the face. He has them this time of a very fine kind, • but has been very full. A remarkable instance of mortality 'has occur red in a family at Chepstow.—Mrs. Williams, wife of Mr. J. Williams, a tailor, died suddenly in the latter part of April last ; her husband sur- Nived her about nine weeks afterwards ; since .which period, three grown-up sops o f t h e a b ove have paid the debt of unsure. POtTRY. THE EXCLAMATION. Unhappy be whose pensive reed still rues The cruel sway of unrelenting fate; Wit", when soft scenes of happiness he view:, Can but compare them with his hapless state. To whom informing Nature did impart The gifts the gentle Muses Held the first, A glowing fancy, and a feeling heart, But gifts in adverse fortune, how accurst ! To faithful love who well could tune his voice, lint where the sympathizing fair attend ? Whose lovely bosom pants to make a choice, To friendship sacred, yet can meet no friend. AN OLD POET.

EDlTOR,—Please to insert the following in your very excellent Paper :—On walking through Bond-street a few days back, I observed •a number of little boys looking anxiously about them. On enquiring the cause of such an unusual species of visitors in this street, one of them told me that they were in waiting to assist any Dandy who might have the misfortune to drop any thing, as stooping would not at all agree with the economy of those Bucks' dress, and was consequently com pletely exploded by them. A.PEDESTRIAN. LIMERICK, SEPT. 2.—Yesterday at two o'clock his Excellency Earl TALBOT arrived at Swinburn's Hotel, in this city, on his way to Killarney. Lordship, accompanied by his brother, the Honourable and Reverend John C. Talbot, his I'ri►•ate Secretary, Major de Rosse, Aid-de-Camp, Viscount Inglestry, (his Lordship's eldest son,) the Hon, John Talbot, his second son, Lady Frances Talbot, his daughter, and Mr. Drum mould. They set out immediately after for New castle, and were to dine and sleep at the hospi table mansion of Edward Carte, Esq. and next morning proceed to Killarney. Lord Clare and the Honourable Richard Fitzgibbon, M. P. vi sited his Lordship on his arrival. The Vice- Regal Party slept on Monday night at Small man's Hotel, Roscrea, from whence they set out yesterday motning at seven o'clock..—They tra- . yelled in time most private manner, having.but two carriages and two out-riders. By one of the directing posts on Horley: common, on the new road to Brighton, that turns off at Gatton-lodge, two miles this side of Rei gate, it appears the distance from London to Brighton is at length reduced to 49 miles ; and when the improvements at Clayton-hill are com pleted, it is said the distance will be further re duced nearly two miles more. The following curious specimen of logical de duction was quoted by Mr. POOLR, a Magistrate of Kent, at a Maidstone meeting last week :—A Mr. MASON boasted that he lived in the best house in the world, and he proved the fact thus : fie lived in England, which was the best country in the world ; Kent was the hest county in Eng land ; Maidstone was the best town in Kent ; Stone-street was the best street in Maidstone; and his house was the best house in Stone-street. The whole of the old east front of the King's Theatre is now taking down, and is to be re erected, to correspond with the other part of the building. Lieut. CLAXTON, of the Tarter cutter, at Yar mouth, plunged into the sea a few days ago, and succeeded in saving the life of a man who had been upset in a boat—this is the ninth person saved by Lieutenant CLAXTON'S courage anti hu manity. THE THEATRES. COVENT-GARDEN.-7-This Theatre opened again last !tight with the Opera of Guy illannering.— PyNR, late of Drury-Lane Theatre, performed Henry Bertram, and was well received. He is. itn proved in acting and singing. Mrs. \ T ATFs was Meg Merrilies, instead of Mrs. EGERTon, who has been so unaccountably discharged from this Thea tre. Mrs. YATES caught the spirit of the part, awl was deservedly applauded. Miss . MATHEwS took t he character of Lucy, Miss STFPn esslreing still ab sent. The afterpiece was which Miss DENNETT was the substitute ior Mrs. PARKER, and appeared to much advantage, particularly in her dancing. The House was et waded, and the whole was well received. DRURY-LANB.—A Sunday Paper having aslerted that the Hon. GEORGE LAMB hid received money at this Theatre on account of Plays brought for ward by that Gentleman, the following Corre spondence was the res,lt Irliite,4all.yortl, Sept. 2, 1818. Siß,—Will you be so good as to look hack over the Treasury accounts of Drury-lane Theatre, and inform me whether any sum of money has ever been received by me o❑ account of any play altered or brought forward by me, or as a remuneration for any part of my labours in I hat Theatre ? An answer to this as soon as possible will oblige, Yours, G. LAMB. To Mr. - Duns, Treasurer, Drury-lane Theatre. Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, Sept. 5, 1818. SIR,—I have the honour to inform you, in answer to yunr letter of the 2d, instant, that no sums appear by the books of this Theatre to have been paid to you, for the alteration or bringing forward of any piece, or as a remuneration for any thing dune by you during► the time you were a Member of the Sub-Committee. I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient Servant, W. DUNN. To the Honourable GEORGE: LAMB.

CORRESPONDENCE BETWEEN LORD SIDNIOUTH AND MR. HUNT. Whitehall, Sept. 8,181 R. SlR,—Lord Sidmouth has directed lie to inform you, that as the Paper containing th,e Deelara u inn and Remonstrance addressed to the Prince Regent, which i you put into bib Ltrdship's hands yesterday, purports, by the description tkere in given -of it, to contain the Declaration and Remonsti,exe, of the Inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster.: ,and parts adjacent, and as this description is evidently I. l d . notoriously untrue, his Lordship does not think hinissic. at liberty to lay the same before his Royal Highness. I am, Sir, your obedient Servant. HENRY CLIVE. H. Hunt, Esq. 8, Norfolk-street, Strand. MR. HUNT'S ANSWER. A, Norfolk-street, Strand, Sept. 9,181 S. MY Lona—When I delivered to your Lordship the Re monstrance unanimously agreed to at the Meeting, held in Palace Yard, on Monday last, addressed to the Prince Re gent, you promised me, that you would read it over, and, if it did nut contain any improper language, you would de liver it into the hands of his Royal Highness, and that you would give me an answer in the course of three days. Late last evening, I received a letter, signed Henry Cliv e , which states, that sour L or d s hip h a d instructed him to say that you did not think yourself at liberty to lay the same be fore the Prince Regent, because it purported to be 6 ' the DecAration and Remonstrance of the Inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent, which , description was evidently and notoriously tree.' Nose, my Lord, by what means your Lordship ascertained the fact that the persons who attended the Meeting in Pa lace-Yard were not Inhabitants of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent, I know not; but this I do know, that those persons who proposed and seconded " the Declaration of our manifold Grievances, and the Remonstrances against the cruel, illegal, and unconstitutional acts of the cor rupt * * * • and * * " 16 * that had been so long imposed upon his Royal Highness the Prince Regent by the great and overwhelming Borough Proprietors of this Country, &c. &c." were Inhabitants of the Cities of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent ; and I be lieve that almost the whole of the five or six thousand per sons at the Meeting, who unanimously sanctioned the same, were also Inhabitants of London and Westminster, and parts adjacent. However, as your Lordship has declined to deliver the Declaration and Remonstrance to his Royal Highness the Prince-Regent, I will trouble your Lordship to return rue the original document that I left with you, that I may, agreeable to the instruction of Vie Meeting, take some other method of laying it before his Royal Highness the Prince Regent. I am, my Lard, Your Lordship's most obedient, • and most bumble servant, To Lord Viscount Sidmouth. H. HUNT. The improvements in St. James's-square are now going on with more speed than hitherto— there has been some demur about the expellee of enclosing and planting the area, among some of the proprietors of the houses in the square, which at one time threatened an'application to the Court of Chancery, but the dispute is now amicably settled. ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A GAMEKEEPER. —On Monday morning, Cornell, the gamekeeper of -- Chafer, Esq. of Bicknell, Kent, who had ren dered himself very obnoxious to poachers, walking in his master's grounds, was attacked by two fel lows, who were discovered by him committing depredations. He attempted to take them into • custody, when they beat and kicked him in the most inhuman manner, lett him on the ground apparently dead, and decamped. The gamekeeper was found by his fellow -servants, and was imme diately conveyed to his master's house. A surgeon was sent for to attend him. He was able to de scribe the villains, and officers have been sent from town to endeavour to apprehend them. Last week a person was detected in passing forged notes in the village of Bassaleg, near New port, on whom were found 7 l/. notes, purporting to be notes of the Luton Bank, and one Carmar then Bank note ; but through the negligence of the constable to whose care the culprit had been com mitted, he effected his escape over the garden wall of the public-house, though so closely followed as to leave the flap of his coat in the hands of his pursuers.
